Bluetooth Audio sound cuts every few seconds

Hi,
The title pretty much expains all. Everything else works with my BT headset. Pairing is okay and I can hear the sound from headset but ithe audio cuts on and off every few seconds. So the bluetooth audio is useless.
I have upgraded several times the driver. I even changed the BT adapter (the HW), but still same.
Laptop is Elitebook 2350p
OS is Win 7

Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.
You can access the enterprise support forums at the following link.

However, my own personal opinion is there might be an issue with the headset, not the hardware/software on the notebook. You mentioned even changing the bluetooth hardware and the issue remained, which leads me to believe it might have to do with the headset and Windows 7. Have you tried another headset on this notebook to see if the issue was the same?

Mouse sputters every few seconds

I just got a brand new customized Mac Pro direct from Apple. Every few seconds, there is a delay in mouse input, but instead of just stopping, the cursor "jumps" across the screen. This would normally not be a huge problem, but in intricate tasks like 3D art or gaming, it's an incredibly serious issue. I've tried a wireless USB mouse, a wired USB mouse, the "Magic Mouse", and several different mousepads. It happens regardless of whether I'm connected to the internet. How can I figure out what the problem is? Does this issue affect anyone else?

Thanks in advance...I really need this fixed soon.

After some troubleshooting I have determined that the monitor was causing the issue.
Running Activity Monitor showed me that on systems that were experiencing the mouse lag the "kernel_task" process would fluctuate between 7 and 14 percent. On systems that were not experiencing the lag the "kernel_task" would max at about 6 percent but usually was settled in below 1 percent.
A co-worker and I began disconnecting devices and watching the "kernel_task" cpu usage. When we disconnected the monitor I observed the computer with ARD and noticed that "kernel_task" dropped to a sub 1% range. When we reconnected the monitor it shot back up.
We swapped the monitor with one that was connected to a system not experiencing the issue. Once we connected the monitors to their new systems BOTH systems were stable. This led us to power. We determined that turning the monitor off and back on did not help the issue, but actually disconnecting the power from the monitor did restore "kernel_task" to a happy, stable state. This solution has now been repeated on the remaining symptomatic computers and it "fixed" all of them (not sure if it is a permanent fix or if this is going to reoccur)

MacBook Pro freezes every few seconds

Hi All,
My two year old MacBook Pro started freezing randomly one day. It happens with any application that I have open (Safari, Word, Finder), I get the beach ball every few seconds for any operation I try doing. When the cursor comes back I have seen spikes of CPU usage and the relevant program also shows as 'Not Responding'.
I have tried everything, PRAM/SMC resetting, hardware test, disk repair etc. The latest being a clean install of Mavercks. It was fine for a few hours until it started freezing again like before. I made sure not to install much and didn't even copy my backup over yet. Here is my EtreCheck output, can someone please HELP!!

My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

Hi everyone!
About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output. Here it is:

String of bad luck, caps lock is flashing once every few seconds

So lets start off with the beginning of the bad luck, first i was watching a youtube video and deicided to go make a snack b/c i was hungry, when i came back my compuuter had shut itself off, overheating wasnt uncommon so i checked the how hot the computer was over the processor and it was coo and not hot at all, so i turned it back on, and i didnt get a thermal shutdown message, so i was a little confused and started checking for the error, the first thing was the power, in which it said "9% availiable(plugged in, not charging)" so i first made sure it was plugged in and everything a bit confused, still did it, and then i googled it, and apparently i had to uninstall the apci from device manager, so i did the ~11 step solution that had helpe so many people, and then it still was like that, so then i used the HP assistant to check my battery, and i needed to replace it, but on the way i noticed i had "system updates" and such i was bummed i had to get a new battery(To put it simply, im poor) and decided to update my system at the very least, maybe the HP assistant was wrong and after the update the battery would register as good again, with little hopes on that(i knew that the chance was near 0%) i updated, and one of the updates were BIOS updates, so half way through downloading my sister decided to power-cycle our router, as our router is a pretty bad router and every now and then our internet would slow to the point of pretty much being non-existant, so then my computer resets i get a black screen and capslock starts blinking twice, i use my issters computer to google it, my BIOS is corrupt, so i use windows + b + the power button, to try and restore my BIOS, during it flushing my computer overheats, and now when i turn it on its a black screen with the capslock blinking once every few seconds, i havnt been able to find a fix, can anyone help me? also i should mention the tag on my HP is worn out pretty bad i can barely salvage any info off it which is pretty bad, all i know is that its an hp pavilion G4 with AMD radeon GPHX, and 8mb of memory

T500 wireless connects and disconnects every few seconds

The machine has the Intel 5100 adapter in it, and runs W7 x64. There are numerous other devices using wireless in the same house, including two T61ps, which do not have this problem.
The T500 is using the latest Access Connections for W7, and the latest Intel drivers (the machine is 10 days old, and is fully updated using Lenovo System Update and Windows Update. Not much 3rd party software yet due to this and another problem with the T500.)
Every few seconds, the wireless will disconnect, then reconnect immediately. I have tried turning off power management for the wireless adapter, including telling Windows not to power it off for power savings. This occurs running on AC power, haven't tried on battery. (This is irritating enough as it is, but it makes W7's Windows Explorer keep moving things up and down in the display as the network items disappear and reappear.)

Hi Graham,
Try increasing the roaming of your wireless card from aggressive to low and power output to maximum in the power management option.
Hope it helps.

Satellite C series - Programs switching to background every few seconds

When I use any program, every few seconds it will switch/flick to the background so I have to click in it again. It will still be displayed, but it requires me to click in it to continue using it actively. For example, I am not able to type continously - I will type a few words and then will have to click the mouse in the program to continue. Or if I'm watching a video, I can't watch it full screen as it will go out of full screen mode after a few seconds.
Obviously this is very disturbing and means I can't work on the computer as my typing is continuously disrupted.
Any support or advice much appreciated. Thanks :)

It is very strange issue. Ive never heard about it.
Does the same happen when you disconnect external mouse and disable touchpad?

My macbook isn't charging continuously. It goes between 'charging' to 'not charging' every few seconds. What could be the problem?

Have you checked the connections from the power adapter to the MBP? Note the pins in the power adapter are spring loaded. See if they are free. Are the connections discolored?
Have you checked the battery status? Open System Profiler or System Information and look at this display:

Mission control starts on its own every few seconds to once minute.........very frustrating

I bought a new iMac in August. A few weeks have gone by and my new computer is AWESOME. I just switched from pc and have been very happy. But......yesterday when i turned it on Mission Control would start to turn on randomly every few seconds. It happens all the time now, it really *****, and i have no idea what to do about it. I thought maybe i was activating with magic mouse so i tuned off that feature and it still happens. What should i do?

YES!!!!!! After many hours on the phone with apple (very god customer service, those guys really wanted to help) we determined that the keyboard was the defective. They gave me a replacement at no cost and now my computer works perfect once again. One of the indicators that it was the keyboard was that i couldn't make an upper case e using the shift button. By opening opening up Mac OS X Utillities and having me type in the onlline help section we saw the problem persited and they were able to dertime that it was a hardware problem and not the software, from there all it was was a quick trip to the apple store. Good luck i hope my experiance was helpful.

I believe OS 10.10.2 is causing my mac to freeze every few seconds.

For the last two weeks or so, my MacBook Pro (2011) has been freezing every few seconds. I can barley type this now. When I pull up Activity Monitor, it shows my memory running at 3.0+ out of 4 GB's. I've tried everything I could think of. My Mac is more of a internet surfing comp so I didn't mind reinstalling OS. It worked great for about 30 minutes then everything started to freeze again. Im curious if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone's figured out how to fix it. I ran a diagnostic on my ram and thats not the issue. Im to the point of upgrading my ram but i think it's dumb reverting to that when the 4 GB has been plenty for me in the past.
Thank You.

Yvm 302 popup every few seconds

Hi, got a g4 box , watching tv and every few seconds the popup keeps coming up, not once has the picture broke up,pixelated,or anything like that happened.signal is not the best but its been fine on my tv for years , its fine now its just that popup! Need to somehow be able to turn it off because tryibg to watch something and a popup in the midfle of the screen is really annoying. Checked cables , aerial , retuned etc. Thanks

not sure if it's the same where you live, but where I am (Lancashire) the HD channels are the lowest signal strength out of all the freeview channels. If your problem is just on the HD channels then it may be that the youview box is flagging up that the signal is weak.
The process for factory reset for a G4 is to power off and then on with the switch on the back of the box, press power to come out of standby and immediately hold in the down arrow on the top of the box until you get the on screen message to press the power button to enter maintenance mode. From there use the arrow buttons on the top of the box, up or down to select options, right arrow to confirm.

Address Book: Refreshing Every Few Seconds. . .

... I have a address book count of 1,132 cards,whenever am attempting to use these contacts; Address Book keeps refreshing like every 30-sec or so... greatly slowing down my work flow; often having to wait for it to catch up ........ help!!!
smiles..
Anthony

... not doing anything unusual, Sharing is (???) and Contacts are all local: first notice this occurrence when simply editing / adding new contacts to the address book; in the middle of editing each card, it just (what appears to be) refreshes each card, by card, by card; all 1000+ of them ... it also does this during any kind of interaction with Address book, ie: adding / deleting / viewing / searching ... doesn’t matter what you are doing; if interacting with address book, it stops responding (losing command of the app), and appears to update each and every card; then later comes back to your control... this happens like every few seconds during your session with Address Book.
